I was born in Virginia, but I have also lived in Nebraska, Oklahoma, and England. I enjoy reading, playing/watching sports, and traveling. I have traveled to seven countries and 42 states. I currently live in Mesa County, Colorado with my husband and fur-baby (dog) Benelli.. Currently, I am an attorney with Colorado Legal Group where we primarily handle family/domestic legal issues. Previously, I was a district attorney which gave me a wealth of knowledge and litigation experience. I am passionate about helping others even when I am not working. I regularly volunteer with several groups in the community. Most people would describe me as a workaholic, but I truly love my job... my love of helping others is what drives my work ethic. Challenges are the best because it means I am constantly learning, never settling for status quo.. When I am not working, you can usually find me outside gardening, hiking, or some other outdoor adventure which makes Colorado a great place to live.
